Suicide car bomb rocks army base in Iraqi capital


    BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber on Sunday attacked an army base in Baghdad where dozens of army recruits and soldiers were killed by another suicide bomber just over two weeks ago, security officials said.

    A police source said one person died and six were wounded in Sunday's attack, which took place less than a week after Washington declared U.S. combat operations in Iraq over and said the Iraq war was in its final stages.
